(5,909 posts)Being the cynic that I am, I think there are people that will gossip and use personal shit you've shared against you...not in this group but I have witnessed it on DU and felt bad for people that were targeted.
I'm glad you can relate....that's a lot of animals to care for! We have a hyper (but cute) rescue dog we adopted when his first adopter returned him 8 months later saying "she wasn't a dog person"...we also have 2 cats and I discovered a stray one living in our garage this week and my husband's giving me the evil eye about her but in reality he's a huge softie, so we may end up with a third.
My guy helps me around the house, loves to cook and bake and is very helpful as I have chronic pain issues....that's another story.
What makes me most proud is that we raised truly good, smart, empathetic liberal kids (keeping fingers crossed as I was a pretty bad teenager) and I was the primary parent for 10 years. That's not saying my husband wouldn't have done the same job if not better as I have a pretty short fuse where nothing fazes him...except Republicans. He would have instilled the same liberal values.
I got 2 updates today from my family regarding my sister and they weren't good. That's all I want to say.
Thanks again, and I'm really glad you are a part of this group.
